Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, spacious, and well appointed, with a large open kitchen and living area that was perfect for gathering. The bedroom layout was great, with two master suites, and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, bowls, knives, cups, a mixer, and other essentials.A few issues kept this from being a five-star stay. The biggest was the thermostat, which appeared to be programmed to automatically raise the temperature. With temperatures near 100 outside, we could not keep the house comfortably cool and found ourselves constantly overriding the pre-programmed settings throughout the day and night. Locking the thermostat within a reasonable range while allowing guests to choose a comfortable temperature would be a much better solution.We were also disappointed that guests could not use the lower level, since it provides the most convenient access to the backyard and river. Having to walk around from the front made the yard much less usable. The grill was also located at the front of the house instead on the top or bottom patio, leaving the person cooking separated from everyone else.Communication could have been better. Two messages either went unanswered or weren’t answered until the following day. One was about getting the back porch TV working so we could watch a World Cup match, but the response came too late to help.The mattress and pillows in the larger master suite weren’t our favorite, although that’s subjective.

Great home in a terrific location if you want to be tucked away, yet close to the lake, The Horseshoe, Gruene and not too far from New Braunfels. Terrific back yard with wide frontage on the river with shallow rapids that kept our kids so busy that they forgot about their iPads. We appreciated having access to fun yard games and 5 kayaks. (FYI - challenging but fun paddle down to the start of the horseshoe if you have a pickup truck and driver to meet you, but you will have to portage twice) The kitchen was equipped with upscale appliances and every needed utensil including a proper coffee maker, keurig and even a coffee press, but there were no spices in the pantry, so pack your own salt and pepper and anything else you may need. We figured this must be because the house was new as opposed to older properties with cupboards full of accumulated expired seasonings. We enjoyed the nice gas grill and fire pit with abundant firewood in the woodpile. Will definitely rent again!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed ourselves while staying at this house. It is the perfect location, beautiful setting and views, and large enough for our big family to spread out and have their own space. The kitchen is fully equipped and user friendly!!! We had such a good time using the kayaks, playing games, doing puzzles, and sitting by the river listening to music. Thank you for sharing your home!

The home was well appointed, good floor plan with two master bedroom suites with river views, excellent outside patio area and the views were spectacular. We had a wonderful experience and 3 couples did not feel cramped. We enjoyed watching red hawks and bard owls across the river. We’ve already booked again for the fall. We thought mattress toppers would make the beds more comfortable and the bathrooms need grab bars in tub/showers because the soft water makes the surfaces slippery.
